Also, how much gas should I keep in the car while it is being stored till ... let's say March 2015?
...
Any other things I should prepare for while is sitting in driveway?
I would remove the battery and trickle charge it inside.

I would put it on jack stands to get the weight off the tires because you can out-of-round them only need to be lifted so the weight is off the tires, not even fully off the ground. If that's not an option, then put in some extra PSI on the tires (40-45) and that will help prevent the flat spots from happening.

Put in Stabile fuel stabilizer and a full tank of 93, you don't want there to be moist air in the tank that will condense into the fuel while it sits. The Sabil will keep the octane at an acceptable level for use in the spring.

Also do an oil change before storing it.
